The music here is from the Paradise Theatre in Detroit and the Regal Theatre in Chicago (May, 1945), and the Café Zanzibar (October, 1945). The recordings from the Café Zanzibar has never been released before now. The musical program presented here is blended for both listening and dancing, and includes many Duke Ellington standards, plus several new or rarely performed tunes.

In Alone, we hear a 1983 live solo set from a Danish nightclub. Wilson gives excellent performances of songs that he had played and loved for decades, finding something new and interesting in every one of them.
